The resolution passed with 10 votes in favor, none against, and five abstentions, including France, Britain, Denmark, Greece, and Slovenia.
Reaffirming the UN’s mission to maintain global peace and resolve conflicts, the resolution calls for an immediate end to hostilities and mourns lives lost without assigning blame to Russia.
Acting U.S. Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea emphasized that while the resolution is not a "peace deal," it provides "a path to peace."
UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo stressed that peace must be "just, sustainable, and comprehensive."
Earlier, the UN General Assembly rejected the U.S. draft and instead approved a resolution submitted by Ukraine and European allies, reaffirming Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity while advocating for a just and lasting peace.
UN Security Council resolutions are legally binding under international law.
